Yeah, it was not as in-depth an interview as the Fenn one, though obviously Sherilyn Fenn is a loopy force of nature who never stops gabbing. The crowdfunding thing is embarrassing to discuss, if sweet, and not going to happen. If this happens it'll happen internally - according to Fenn, who spoke to Lynch a day or so ago, he and the network are talking and he endorses the cast's efforts, so we'll see. I wish they'd talked to him about some of the actual questions posed; I know some of the FB commenters asked about stuff like the Audrey/Ben subplot Bobby got snared into, which neither he nor Fenn apparently liked. I actually loved their chemistry and Bobby in that world, but I was glad it ended where it did.

Interview with James Marshall, who is a significantly smarter guy than James Hurley. He talks a lot about some of James' most memorable moments (yes, there were some), the cut storyline with his mother, the dreadful Evelyn storyline, FWWM and so on. I have a lot of time for James and Donna in Season 1, where they really are sort of the pure counterpoint to the darkness, a la Laura Dern and Kyle MacLachlan's romance in Blue Velvet. Also, Marshall looks amazing these days.

Still not sure what this is about, or just why he was so unpopular.

Oh, come on! You have nice things to say about some of the absolutely worst dreck of season 2 but the Evelyn story is 'dreadful'? LMAO! :lol:

I'm gonna need to see some receipts on that because Googling hasn't revealed any such thing.

I like the hair. I just think he's much more attractive as an older man.

I wish you the best of luck finding boosters for the Evelyn Marsh storyline. According to Annette McCarthy (Evelyn) she and Marshall were literally drunk on-camera during portions of it (there is a champagne scene).

No wonder he's become so unbelievably thin. I don't think he looks bad at all, I just was trying to figure out where the 'amazing' part came in. :P

Well, I really don't need luck because I did think it was a pretty bad story, as well (which I, inexplicably, still have some affection for, for some reason). I'm just saying, I found it funny that you find nice things to say about some other stuff but the Evelyn story is where you drew the line!

Where they really drunk? That sort of makes me like it more! (and could explain some things).

The Evelyn story is where most people draw the line, I've found. As far as it goes, I'm with Harley Peyton and Bob Engels - I think it was a good idea on paper, a classic film noir setup (it's almost exactly the plot of Otto Preminger's legendary Angel Face, with Robert Mitchum and Jean Simmons) but they had the wrong actress and the wrong lead actor (Marshall), and the wrong setting (outside town).

I loved Robyn Lively enough that I tolerated it. That whole subplot certainly played a lot less well this last time I watched, but she was fun. I also was a lot more tolerant of Heather Graham's almost non-acting as Annie, and the thing with Cooper - I thought they just pulled that off for the most part, largely through the writing and her charisma, which has covered for Graham's abilities as an actress many times throughout her career. But I also don't think it was anything but an ultimately doomed whirlwind romance which would not last. I know Lynch seemed to really like her when he came back in for the back end.

There is a typically well-done ABC TP promo floating around online for one of those very episodes with Lana's silly storyline. It was kind of a pity to see them expending the energy on it. I'll see if I can find it.

Meanwhile, here's a UK commercial from 1991 for Ruffles potato chips. Featuring Kyle MacLachlan. These Ruffles are darn fine crisps!

I could swear Carl posted this one, but in case he hasn't:

Oh, and yeah, that's Susan Lucci and Finola Hughes in the TV movie promo. Wow, I wish I could've seen them together.

I forgot to say thanks for posting those ads a page or two back. I'd seen the photo of Kyle and Madchen doing the thumbs up for the camera, with Dana scowling in the background, but had never known it was from a Gulf War ad.

    • I have this nagging feeling we think of different ones as the best! Care to fulfill my curiosity? Which are you thinking of? 
    • the famous babyswitch. the best babyswitch imo
    • Yes, it has. It was seen in the episodes when Dani broke into the house while Hayley and Bill were on their honeymoon. Dani and a Fairmont Crest security guard were also shown outside the house's entrance. Bill and Hayley were seen in the foyer when they returned. I imagine the set will resurface when there's a need for it.
    • There is some kind of arrangement going on between Justin and Evie, who seems to be caring for Sam. I'm not sure, but she may even be living there with Justin and Phillip. Phillip inviting Evie at least makes a little more sense (if the guest list was limited to women Vanessa liked, it would've only consisted of Trish and Helena. lol)  Maybe it was more common to hang on to performers, back in the day? Instead of immediately kicking them to the curb? Evie hadn't had much to do after Chet was revealed to be her stalker. With Rita, Jackie and Ben gone, there weren't many on the canvas she'd really worked with, other than Ross. They could've pivoted her back to Ross, instead of letting him languish love-less for nearly a year other than goo-goo eyeing Amanda. Nowadays, there might've been a moment written Jordan and Janet, an eye-wink to the audience about them having previously worked together.
    • I 100% agree that Bill and Haley's set would work better as a bedroom. I also think it might have made more sense to give them a penthouse instead of a mansion. Realistically they aren't going to have the room for multiple mansions, even with the larger studios. A more open concept penthouse would've been fine. I also wish more people lived together. The age confusion kinda messes that up but I would at least have Chelsea living with Dani. If Martin were Anita and Vernon's child (as he should be), I'd have these families living together as well. By doing that, the space used for Martin and Smitty's house could be used to build a dining room for the Dupree home and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to throw a couple bedrooms in as needed.
    • CBS primetime was such a mess in the 1990s. 1990/91 fourth consecutive third place finish. 1991/92 to 1993/94 some signs of life but it didn't last.  1994/95 to 1999/2000 another primetime mess era. 1995 the sale to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. The only bright spots were Touched by an Angel becoming a Top 10 show and Everybody Loves Raymond starting to show growth. CBS primetime would have a comeback in 2000 with the premieres of Survivor and CSI and Everybody Loves Raymond becoming a Top 10 show, and the rest is history.
    •  Thanks! For some reason I had misremembered ER and Chicago Hope going directly head to head but that may have been because of the hype about both shows.    Poor Connie Chung. She seem poised for success and possibly the next Barbara Walters. I don’t recall her co-anchor gig on the CBS Evening News was well received though. She kind of tanked her career moving into more a tabloid journalist role once at ABC and especially once she moved off network TV to CNN and later more infamously on MSNBC.

    • Strangely, it was Phillip who invited Evie to go to the ball with him. She had been taking care of Samantha, so I guess it was a way to thank her for helping Justin after Jackie's death? So she was not invited by Vanessa. Phillip brought her as his plus one. That Evie stayed on the canvas so long is extremely odd, especially since Ben was gone way before her. My theory is Marland was going to bring Rita back, so they wanted Evie to remain in place as her sounding board. When he left and Potter was still EP, that might have still been the plan. Once Kobe came in, that would have been thrown in the dumpster along with a lot of other story plans and characters.
    • Nina and Portia are generally presented as entirely too savvy to not think this ketamine (don't even GET me started on that) nonsense wouldn't immediately blow up in their face. Drew, the ex-navy seal and congressman, wouldn't get a drug test immediately after acting wildly out of character? Portia allowed this to so easily be traced back to her by roping in Brad, a man who can't stand her? Nina didn't think Willow would Stand By Her Man? Girl, PAY ATTENTION! I also find it disturbing how BOTH of them are gaslighting Willow. It feels gross. They should have presented Gio as anything other than a responsible, genial and affable guy if they wanted us to buy any of Dante's ranting about him. You've known this kid since he was a baby and suddenly you're yelling at him like he's the devil incarnate? It was so forced. Every one of them, including Dante, know that they all would have done the same thing in Gio's shoes. Teen gets drunk, friends cover for them. Gio's only 5 years older than him, barely allowed to legally drink himself. How was he to know the kid had alcohol poisoning? Alexa Havins crying every day over keeping a baby secret. Ahh memories. Molly and Kristina are just the worst to their mom and Alexis allows it. Kristina does need to be committed, she's a danger to herself and others. I wish Alexis would just tell her that she knows. I can't wait until Molly finds out about her almost getting Ric and Liz killed. I need her to body slam Kristina. Sasha thinks she knows EVERYTHING. She's always giving advice and painted as right no matter what. And so holier than thou while carrying a married man's baby.
